Mac whirl lip liner & brave lipstick

Monday, 26 January 2015

I don't usually like giving in to hype & jumping on a bandwagon straight away so it has taken me a while to decide to make these purchases. Firstly, let me say that I am not into the overdrawn lip thing that Kylie Jenner has going on, or maybe she's had lip fillers, either way I'm not too interested in that aspect of things. However, I do like the colour that she has been wearing on her lips as it is a pinky nude. There have been several lipsticks mentioned and having looked at them, I decided that Velvet Teddy would be too brown for me & decided on Brave. It is a satin finish lipstick, which I find very comfortable to wear & it lasts an average of 3 hours on me, which is pretty normal for most lipsticks. It is a warm, fleshy, pinky nude and I think it would suit all skin tones. I am pretty much in love with it & think it will go with almost all make-up looks. I also love the slightly sweet scent of MAC lipsticks.

To go with the lipstick, I wanted to get Soar lip pencil, but it is currently sold out everywhere so I decided on Whirl. It is slightly darker than the lipstick so it's a very '90s look, but it's not so different that it looks ridiculous. I have tried Spice with it also as I already had that in my collection, and that works too, but I think Soar would be the perfect match. The MAC website says that Soar will be in stock soon, so no doubt I will get it as soon as it lands!

Overall, I am very happy with this combo and can see that I will be wearing it a lot this Spring!

Beautiful combination. I actually almost picked Brave up the other day. It was sold out. And I didn't realise until afterward that it is the suppose "Kylie Jenner" Lip...which maybe explains why it is sold out.
